We started the 1st half brightly. With Alex(who else) placing us in the lead 1-0. Then Leong(playing for us on this day), doubled our lead. 2-0. Alex, again, made it 3-0 with a belter from distance.

We fear of what The Yellows may do in the 2nd half. Leong made it 4-0. Then Nicholas with a deft flick to make it 5-0. We even extended to 6-0. The Yellows tried to come back. They made it 6-1 from Adil. Then 6-2 with an own goal by me. The goals came in one by one I lost count who scored.

David was injured and had to play goalkeeper. Shyong Ming's ball-winning tackles are superb. Kang Xiang again and again is a thorough defender. This guy who joins us once in a while, shows improvement. Wearing the #88 jersey, he ran all the way back and tackled an opponent. The returning Winston did an excellent comeback. With him in the team, we have higher chances of winning. Wee Zheng is passing the ball well. Better passing completion than previous matches. Alex, another top notch showing by the captain. Nicholas did a masterful showing in midfield. Faizal, as a centre-foward, laying off balls. Leong is the finisher.

Mann's decision to play outfield in the 2nd half is rewarded with 4 goals collectively by them. Kelvin is a defender who stay-back. Ronald knows to hold fort when defending. A rejuvenated Safie is playing with courage. Jack almost scored with a chip in the 1st half. The 3 new guys need more games to show what they can really do. Kenny is dangerous, how he evade his opponents without them realizing is a virtue. Adil is an all-round player at a young age.

The score us Blacks win 11-4.

MAN OF THE MATCH: ALEX TEO. A BACK-TO-BACK IMPRESSIVE SHOWING BY HIM. 4 GOALS TODAY.

Ah San wanted it and we delivered. A 11 v 11 match between the Blacks against the Yellows. Here are the line-up for us:

Q-S
Samuel
Kang Xiang
Shyong Ming
Daniel
Teck Huat
Wee Zheng
Alex
Wayne
David
Faizal

The Yellows:

Mann
Adil
Ronald
Safie
Yee
Justin
Kenny
Ah San
Adil's friend
Leong
Leong's son
Mann's friend
Kelvin

The Yellows had an extra man. But we played anyway.

The 1st half, the Blacks are on the attack. Many shots saved by their super keeper Mann. Some went off-target. One of our trialist Samuel complained he's injured. He swapped keeper with me temporarily. On the right, Ah San slotted one past us. The Yellows were up 1-0. Their 4 Horsemen Ah San, Justin, Kenny and Yee are starting to show their groove. We fear 2nd half. As The Yellows always up their game after the HT break...

The Yellows shocked us with their 2nd goal. Samuel saved from their first shot but The Yellow's Kelvin capitalized on the rebound. 2-0. I thought to myself it may be another defeat. A goal by Teck Huat changed the course of the game. 2-1. I was beaten on pace by Adil's friend. Kang Xiang was giving his 100% as defender. Shyong Ming was tough as usual. Daniel did well as right-back. Wee Zheng was passing the ball smartly. Alex again the heart of the team. Wayne is a strong defensive midfielder. Faizal is a holding striker laying off balls.

Then David did his trademark run on the right and slammed one for the equalizer 2-2. The Yellows went on defensive counter-attacking mode. Like a wall in defence and swift as a bird when counter-attacking. Mann had a busy day with numerous saves as goalkeeper. I had to play keeper for The Blacks now and saved twice from Adil. Ronald was doing all his worth as defender. Safie wants to prove he still has it by defending too. Yee, a dangerous player, was twisting, running diagonal to initiate their counter-attack. Justin is finding holes in our midfield. (Thanks a lot for the transport Uncle Justin!) Kenny was damaging us with all those passes. Ah San was leading their counter-attacks, forcing Kang Xiang and Shyong Ming to run back as fast as they could. Leong wanted to score. Mann's friend with a few passes. Kelvin is finding positions to score another one.

Amidst all the battles that's happening, Alex has the ball in a packed midfield, found an acute angle and let one soar. It went in! The Blacks had taken the lead. 3-2!

That's the score. FT. It was a healthy match. We had to be on the move.

The Blacks won 3-2.

MAN OF THE MATCH: ALEX. HE'S LIKE A GAME CHARACTER THAT HAS ALL THE OTHERS' MOVES. THAT 3RD GOAL BY US IS ANOTHER TO HIS COLLECTION. GOOD JOB LADS!

Our big boss Ah San is issuing warnings to players with poor attendance. But today lesser people, we had fun.

First match. The six of us in black against five of them in yellow. Breadth of the field. Smallest goalposts.

The Blacks:

David
Shyong Ming
Kang Xiang
Wee Zheng
Q-S
Alex

The Yellows:

Ah San
Kenny
Yee
Kelvin
Mann

It was a tough match. The Blacks won 4-3. With me scoring 2. Very rare Q-S scores. Shyong Ming and Alex each scored one. With me assisting Alex's goal. The Yellows were strong even with one man less.

The second match was mixed

Team A

Ah San
Kenny
Alex
Q-S
David
Mann

Team B

Kang Xiang
Shyong Ming
Kelvin
Yee
Wee Zheng

Wee Zheng scored 3 goals amazingly. But the highlight was when my teammates urged me to take a 'penalty'. A penalty from 5 meters with really small goalposts and Shyong Ming in the middle? With him cannot use his hands to save? I jogged a bit, ran and shoot. The ball rattled the cage.

The match ended 7-7.

Ah San was class again. Kenny scored a few too in the 2nd game. Alex did well. David was on the wings. Mann played outfield. Shyong Ming did a grounder from long-distance with a goal. Kelvin was happy to score. Yee is dangerous playing both matches with one-man-less team.

MAN OF THE MATCH: KANG XIANG. VERY FIT. ITS HIS TRADEMARK RUNNING FROM DEFENCE TO ATTACK AND THEN BACK AGAIN.

We were outnumbered by one. But that's not an excuse.

In the 1st half, we went up 2-0. They overturned it 3-2. Half ended.

As tradition, the Yellows fired up in the 2nd half. Their goalkeeper Mann saved many tame shots from us. Ah San was like an army general marshalling the defence. Ronald was there to stay behind and defend. Safie was playing left-back. Leong's friend, Naga, stay put at right-back. Andi was defending too. Overall, they had defenders who stayed back. Making us very difficult to attack. Which what we should do - defend. We need defenders who stay behind, don't go up too much.

Yee did severe damage on the right flank. This man can turn and twist leaving us rooted. Justin and Kenny are midfield experts. Masters of passing the ball. Kenny's scoring rate is excellent. And Leong is there to finish their subtle passes.

What went wrong for us?

We need a back 3 or back 4 that will stay put.

MAN OF THE MATCH: KENNY. HE CAN SHOOT FROM DISTANCE.
